Dalaroo Metals Ltd (ASX: DAL, “Dalaroo” or “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities during
the June 2025 Quarter.
Cote d’Ivoire - Bongouanoa Project.
During the June 2025 Quarter, Dalaroo entered into a binding joint venture agreement (“Agreement”) with
Reflex Exploration (“Vendor”) to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Bongouanoa Gold Project (“Project”)
located in the Sefwi-Comé Birimian Greenstone Belts in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Location map showing the Bongouanoa Project.
The Project has had significant historical exploration conducted including soil geochemistry, rock chip sampling
and extensive aircore and diamond drilling. The historic work returned significant gold mineralisation that
represent immediate follow up targets for Dalaroo to test.
The Bongouanoa Project is located in southeast Cote d’Ivoire, covering 400km² in a permit under application.
The permit is located in the Sefwi-Comé Belt that is host to multi-million ounce gold deposits and covers the
Sefwi-Comé Shear and N’Guessan Shear zones (Figure 1). Previous exploration conducted in the Bongouanoa
Project included stream sediment sampling, soil sampling, aircore drilling and diamond drilling.
The geology is characterised by strongly deformed flysch, metasediments and metavolcanics along with diorite
and granitic intrusives. Structurally, two main shears traverse the project; Sefwi-Comé Shear and N’Guessan
Shear with associated complex secondary structures. The project currently has 10 active sites of artisanal
workings and 5 abandoned sites. These sites appear to be focused on secondary cross structures and splaying
off the primary shears.
Both stream and soil sampling programs have been conducted over the southern half of the project. Both
these programs have highlighted the prospectivity of the area to host economic gold mineralisation. The
regional streams program returned results as high as 189ppb Au which focused the follow up gridded soil
program in the southern portion of the permit.
The subsequent soil sampling program was conducted on a 400 x 50m gridded pattern and returned significant
robust, contiguous gold in soil anomalism >50ppb Au over a 16km X 10km area along with parallel anomalies.
The anomaly includes some spectacularly high grades, peaking at 95g/t Au (Figure 2). Sampling of outcrops
also produced outstanding gold results including 70.68g/t Au & 68.55g/t Au. Whilst some of these samples
were taken from areas of active workings, significant grades were also returned from un-worked quartz veins.
Summary of Reconnaissance Drilling
A 94-hole, shallow reconnaissance aircore drilling program tested several localised areas of the gold in soil
anomaly. Results from this program led to the targeting of follow up diamond drilling (Figure 3). The aircore
returned gold intercepts including;
BOAC00043
4m @ 9.24 g/t Au from 24m
BOAC00084
4m @ 2.08 g/t Au from 36m
BOAC00035
4m @ 1.23 g/t Au from 36m
A targeted diamond drilling program consisting of 3,949m, tested 5 locations (Figure 3). This drilling program
returned highly encouraging results that represent high priority targets to follow up with additional drilling.
Significant results include;
BODD00021
17m @ 6.79g/t Au from 113m incl;
3m 34.29g/t Au from 123m
BODD00016
18m @ 1.28g/t Au from 70m and
30m @ 0.61g/t Au from 33m
BODD00017
9m @ 1.71g/t Au from 39m and
4m @ 1.55 g/t Au from 57m
BODD00010A 2m @ 60.47 g/t AU from 39m
BODD00001 4m @ 2.63 g/t Au from 23m and
1m @ 12.51g/t Au from 90m
BODD00022
5m @ 1.48 g/t Au from 80m
BODD00002
4m @ 1.60 g/t Au from 48m
BODD00020
2m @ 2.29 g/t Au from 70m
Encouraging assay results from recent diamond drilling program highlight multiple priority areas for our future
exploration efforts (Figures 4 & 5).

Our focus will be on further delineating the gold mineralization at our advanced targets. In parallel, we'll also
be actively exploring our promising pipeline of earlier-stage targets.
These results provide a strong foundation for our upcoming exploration activities.
Blue Lagoon Zr-Nb-REE Project, Gadar Province. Greenland
Dalaroo’s field teams commenced work in July at the Blue Lagoon Zr-Nb-REE project in Greenland (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Project location, GEUS regional stream sediment location and neodymium assay results
Large and highly anomalous zirconium, niobium and REE geochemical anomalies over the Project area provide
a compelling multi-commodity exploration target. The Vendor has identified the presence of potential bulk
tonnage ‘placer’ type deposits from in-situ weathered granite. This is characterised by highly anomalous LREE
and Nb signature, which is very similar to the geochemical signature that coincides with 3 other significant REE
deposits in South Greenland associated with Gadar Block alkaline intrusives. The Company is looking forward
to reporting the results of the work program as they come to hand.
HISTORICAL EXPLORATION RESULTS
A GEUS regional stream sediment sampling program took a total of 9 stream sediment samples from the
current tenement area in 1979. These indicate the area as being anomalous in zirconium, niobium and REEs,
particularly the magnetic rare earth neodymium (see Figure 1). Significantly the samples returned background
to very low-level uranium and thorium content, which is critical for shipping and permitting. There is no record
of any exploration having been undertaken on the tenement area to follow-up the anomalous results.

WORK PROGRAM
Dalaroo is pleased to announce it has engaged the services of renowned Greenland geologist Ole Christiansen
for exploration work on the project. Mr Christiansen has over 35 years’ experience exploring Greenland, and
is currently a consulting geologist, which has included work for the Tanbreez deposit. He has spent
considerable time exploring for gold, base metals as well as critical metals within alkalic complexes, including
carbonatite and syenite complexes. He was the former CEO of Nuna Minerals A/S, a crowned company that
became listed on Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen in 2008.
Two principal work streams are being conducted. The first involves auger drilling of beach like deposits around
the Blue Lake shore and surrounds. This was undertaken to test their potential to host weathered finer grained
heavy mineral sands/fractions, where elements such as niobium, zirconium and REEs would be expected to be
concentrated by weathering. The second consists of a program of detailed geochemical sampling (stream, soils
and rocks) and prospecting over the whole tenement area.
Results from the sampling will be used to vector a follow-up field program. Subject to these results being
positive and received in a timely manner it may be possible to complete a second field trip, with field season
typically open until the end of September 2025.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING
Greenland’s southern region, in particular, sits atop a Paleoproterozoic cratonic rift province featuring a variety
of alkaline volcanic and intrusive rocks. Within these, significant deposits of critical metals—especially within
carbonatite and syenite complexes—have been documented. Exploration programs, such as those led by
experienced geologists like Ole Christiansen and companies including Dalaroo Metals, have focused on regions
like the Nunarsuit Complex, which is known for its potential to host niobium, zirconium, and a suite of rare
earth elements.

The Importance of Greenland-Sourced Rare Earth Minerals for USA Consumption
REE’s are vital for a swath of high-tech applications ranging from smartphones, electric vehicles, and renewable
energy infrastructure to advanced military systems. As global demand for REEs has surged, so has the
geopolitical complexity of their supply chains—nowhere is this more apparent than in the relationship
between Greenland’s mineral potential and the consumption needs of the United States.
Greenland is emerging as a significant potential supplier of rare earth minerals. The island’s geology,
particularly in its southern regions, boasts some of the world’s richest deposits of REEs, alongside other critical
and strategic minerals like niobium and zirconium. For the United States, which for years has relied heavily on
foreign—predominantly Chinese—sources for REEs, Greenland represents not only a diversification
opportunity but also a potential foundation for a more secure and resilient supply of these indispensable
resources.
Greenland’s large, high-purity rare earth deposits offer the United States a unique opportunity to diversify its
sources of supply—thereby reducing dependence on any single country or region. This diversification is vital
in a world where supply disruptions, whether from trade disputes or other geopolitical fractures, could have
far-reaching consequences for both civilian industry and defense readiness.
NEXT STEPS AND INDICATIVE NEWSFLOW
Assay results from the sampling program are expected to be received from early-September 2025 onwards. It
is anticipated that if these results are favourable, a follow-up field trip would be conducted prior to the end of
September 2025. A portable XRF will assist the teams to identify any anomalous or mineralised areas, which
should expedite the planning for follow-up work prior to receipt of assays.
The exploration season in this part of Greenland is more extensive than most of Greenland, running from May
to September each year.

Lyons River Project
No field work was undertaken during the June 2025 Quarter due to wet weather and heat. Activities were
focused on review and assessment for of key targets identified to date for planning next steps and tenement
maintenance. Tenement E09/2908 reached the end of its second five-year period and an application for
extension for an additional two years was lodged. This tenement is centrally located to the Four Corners and
Browns base metal area. Applications for extension of terms for tenements E09/2312, E09/2304 and E09/2305
were approved by DEMRIS.
Geographically the Lyons River Project is located approximately 1,100km north of Perth and approximately
220km to the north-east of Carnarvon and comprises a strategic (100% owned) land position of 838km2 within
the Proterozoic age Mutherbukin Zone of the Gascoyne Province in Western Australia. The Gascoyne Province
is a deformed and high-grade metamorphic core zone of the early Proterozoic Capricorn Orogen.
Broken Hill Type prospectivity confirmed - EIS Diamond Drilling at Browns Prospect
Dalaroo has confirmed base metals prospectivity has been demonstrated following positive results from the
diamond drilling program at its Browns Prospect, Lyons River, with encouraging assay results of up to 1.1% Zn.
Four deep diamond core holes totaling 994.4m have tested a prospective Pb-Zn-Ag base metal target covering
an area of 6km2 (3km X 2km). The Company believes the district is an emerging Broken Hill Type (BHT) /
Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) deposit setting. The Browns Prospect is one of six Pb-Zn soil geochemical
prospects identified at Lyons River within the Proterozoic Age basin setting covering an area of 300km2 (30km
by 10km) (Figure 10).
The Browns Prospect represents the second site of Pb-Zn-Ag intersections discovered by bedrock drilling in the
Mutherbukin Zone, 5km east of Dalaroo’s Four Corners Pb-Zn-Ag prospect. The Browns Prospect comprise a
broad Pb-Zn soil (max 1445ppm Pb, 1080 Zn ppm) and rock chip geochemical anomaly covering an area of 3km
X 2km, associated with extensive iron-rich and high-grade gossanous material at surface with results of up to
39.6% Pb, up to 0.71% Zn and up to 82g/t Ag (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 15 February 2022). Dalaroo’s
Aircore (AC) drill programs at Browns testing the geochemical anomalism have been successful in intersecting
zones of interbedded psammitic to pelitic lithologies together with zones of disseminated base metal sulphides
such as galena and sphalerite. Significant AC drilling Pb-Zn sulphide intercepts have included 10m @ 1.04% Pb,
0.49% Zn, 2.85g/t Ag from 37m (LRAC010) Including 1m @ 3.13% Pb, 0.24% Zn, 5g/t Ag from 38m and 63m @
1.76g/t Ag from 16m (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 14 February 2023).

Namban Project
No field work was undertaken during the June 2025 Quarter.
New Projects
Dalaroo is currently reviewing projects, which it may seek to apply for, acquire or earn into which the Board
considers are complementary to Dalaroo’s existing Cote D’Ivoire, Greenfield, Namban and Lyons River projects
and have the potential to create further value for shareholders. The Company is focusing on metals with high
value supported by longer term demand and supply fundaments, which includes gold, silver, copper, REEs,
niobium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten and zirconium.

• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
• Samples taken by Tietto Minerals from
2020 to 2022.
• Soil samples were collected from a depth of

• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
• All diamond drill core is NQ (76 mm). Drill
logs from past drill programs were available
and recorded the logging procedures.
Diamond core sample intervals were logged
for lithology, structural and geotechnical
information, measured, photographed, and
placed into core boxes prior to sampling.
Core sample lengths were generally
collected at 1.0 m intervals.
•
• Aircore drill holes were standard 85mm.
The collars were measured for dip and
drillhole alignment was performed using a
handheld compass, and collars were
spotted using a handheld GPS. Samples
were composited to 4m. No downhole
geophysics or televiewer orientation was
conducted on any of the diamond holes.
• Diamond drill holes were all NTW. The
collar was surveyed for each hole. Drill rig
alignment was performed using a
handheld compass, and collars were
spotted using a handheld GPS. No
downhole geophysics or core orientation
was conducted on any of the core holes.
Samples were 1 m downhole composites.

• All diamond drill core was measured
between each marker block. The blocks
were typically placed at the end of each
run. The length of the core recovered to
match the core interval between the
upper and lower blocks, 3 m.
• Diamond core recovery was recorded in
the geotechnical portion of the drill logs

Logging
•
• Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)

• The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
and monitored by the drill foreman and
geologists on site. There was minor core
loss recorded in the diamond drilling
records. Core samples were taken from
the same side of the core consistently and
sent in for assay. Sample boundaries were
based on changes in mineralisation,
lithology, and alteration. These
procedures prevented sample bias and
selective sample selection
• Aircore depths were noted in the
geological logs, chip trays, and compared
against the dril
